Summary

Almost two years after the war with the Saviors, the communities are beginning to thrive and Rick Grimes is at the head of it all. His friends and family look to him for guidance in this new world they've created, but when he's alone, he's cracking from both the pressure of leadership and the losses he endured during the war.

It seems like the only person who can see what's really going on with Rick is the man who's always been able to pick him apart- Negan.

Summary

Negan's got two new additions to his home and a handful of new worries and cares. As his feelings develop for Carl, he toes the line between father figure and lover. Helping Carl and Judith heal from being captives of Rick's is a whole other weight on his shoulders, and his mental health starts to take a toll on him. Can they adapt to family life, or will some tough choices need to be made along the way?

‘Guilt is the worst demon to bear, strangling you from the inside of your body. Apologize. Make amends. Let go. Breathe free.’ - Nikita Gill

Some people wear their guilt like an armor even when it’s misplaced. Daryl is letting go of his, he doesn’t have much of a choice, but it isn’t easy. Beth, on the other hand, has hers wrapped so tightly around her frail shoulders if it wasn’t there who would she be? Maybe it’s fate, the fact that they meet in the woods one day. And despite their differences, they have a lot in common- mainly an overwhelming guilt for their actions and a bitter loneliness for the isolation they’ve created for themselves. Can a friendship that starts at a funeral for a bird be the catalyst that helps them both find their way?

Summary

Despite enjoying the renewed focus on being with their family, Rick and Carrie’s new life together is quickly upheaved in more than one way. A chance encounter on a run leads them to the larger world outside of Alexandria, but is it as safe and trustworthy as it first seems?

Trusting new people doesn’t come easily, especially when each group is unknowingly interconnected with one another. As the stakes for their family become higher every day, Rick and Carrie risk everything as a threat of unforeseen scale threatens to take it all from them.

Summary

Daryl's mama once told him something that he never really appreciated while she was alive. When stuff got bad, she'd look at him with that exhausted half-smile on her face and crouch down so that she was eye-level with his much shorter self. "Honey? At some point- something's gotta give. You just gotta be sure that when it does, you're strong enough to handle what happens next."

Smart lady, his mama.

After they lose Beth, the decision to keep surviving is hard. It takes everything they've got to keep going.

And the funny thing was? When Daryl faltered, Rick always seemed to be right there to pick him back up.

This is a story of how far you have to fall before you can make it back up again, and of the people who make it all worthwhile.

Summary

“Daryl,” said Maggie, quietly, bringing him out of his reverie. He realized he had been staring at Francie.

“She’s been through…a lot,” said Maggie, and her words sounded like a caution.

“Meaning?” asked Daryl, even though he could already feel what Maggie meant, that Francie was only opening up to him and trusting him because she was broken, broken and confused. Had she been anywhere near well, she would have realized he was trash, not ‘noble,’ not a hero, but a trailer park lowlife without a high school diploma.

“Don’t let her hurt you, is all,” said Maggie, shocking Daryl.

“Hurt me?” he said in wonderment, looking down at Francie, who now seemed to be asleep. “Shit, she’s a bitty thing.”

“That is not what I meant, Dar,” said Maggie. “And you know it.”

Daryl looked up from under his hair. “Don’t.”

“Sometimes…a kid might find a stray dog or a wounded bird or something, and bring it home and try to care for it,” said Maggie, pulling a strand of hair behind her ear. “They love it, they take good care of it, but…it’s still a wild thing, still belongs to Nature, not to them.”

Summary

Unable to find the rest of their group, they set off together in an attempt to survive in a world of death and destruction, soon realizing that they only have each other. As Beth learns to live in the world she had tried to escape and Daryl deals with the ghosts of his past, their feelings for one another become an unstoppable force - and that scares them more than the monstrous world they're stuck in.
